On the Cover

Illustration of a proposed structure of a filamentous actin bundle at a branching site, showing how the protein α-actinin (red) induces a networklike structure in the F-actin protein by forming cross links between its filaments. The model is based on a synchrotron x-ray scattering study which indicates that the α-actinin forms a disordered square lattice within the bundle.
